That railroad will be built from

are credibly informed that notice has
been served upon the owners of lumber
yards and other property along the
projected route through Galena to have
their property removed from the com
pany's right of way before the first
of April next. This being a fact, the
road ought to be open for Traffic by the

TARIFF REFORM

TARIFF REFORM.
WASHING TON, May 20.-For some days
there has been more or less Informal talk
in administration circles on the tariff
question. From limitations dropped
il thess quarters If may be announced
that Secretary FairChild is seriously con-
templsting movementwith the approba-
ton OF the President and his COL
leagues, looking to the concen-
tration of the Democrats in the
House of Representatives and
the Senate upon q measure for tariff re-
duction. Alter careful inquiry it has been
asCertained that every member Of the
Cabinet is favorable to such 8 pro-
gramme. After his experience of the
past two Congresses the President is con-
WINGED that but one course remains open
to the Democratic party, and that IL is
the formulation ct q DILL in consultation
with such men as Randall and Carlisle
and others representing divers
positions Of Democratic sentiment
on the subject, for the purpose
of bringing them together on some com
mon ground Of agreement. The Presid-
has Seen for sometime that an issue will
be made on the tariff and has urged that
1t would be more sagscious to get to
work at once and prepare bill to be sub
mitted to Congress as measure of aG-
m!nistration policy than to let the ques-
ton continue to play havoc as fre-brand
in the ranks of the party. 1t is proposed
to make the bill an administration ques-
tiOn in the House and thus bring it before
the people as the distinctive issue upon
which the Democratic party will stand in
the next campaign.

WHAT NExT9

The campaign against incompetence
and corruption in public affairs has
now reached point where, If any
practical result is to be secured, some
thing must be done besides writing the
matter up in the newspapers and talk
ing about it in our places Of business,
at our homes, and on the public streets.
What then is the next step to be taken
in a wise attempt to secure redress OF
grievances Clearly to hold a public
meeting. Why this has not been al
ready done, seems difficult to under
stand. How any person Of ordinary
intelligence can fail to see its pro-
priety and necessity, is a mystery
That any one who really desires a
reform in the government Of the coun-
try, should object to such proceeding,
must be set down as one Of those per-
versities OF human conduct which defy
explanation. The stupidity and rascal
ity of our rulers have been fully exposed
in the public journals and through the
investigations Of legislative committees
The matter is perfectly well under
stood, and no demonstration can make
1t any clearer. Unless we are TO
quietly submit TO being robbed, mis-
governed and insultcd, we must now
do something, and the first, essential,
and indispensable step in any wise and
efficient doing should be gathering Of
such magnitude and nature as would
be fairly representative Of the intelli-
gencc, the character and wealth Of this
community. Then let this gathering
formulate in a wise, moderate, but
comprehensive manner, the grievances
of which we justly complain, state
definitely and plainly the measures
which are considered necessary TO en-
sure the removal of those grievances
and furnish a satisfactory security
against their recurrence, and petition
the King, respectfully but firmly, for
redress. When we have done this,
we shall have exhausted the peaceable
and constitutional measures open to
us, and will be prepared, with clean
record and a clear conscience, to con
slider what shall be done next.

On the subject of savings banks the Gov
ernor significantly says that ''there should
be some stringent legislation in regard to the
investment of savings bank funds" and he
earnestly recommends additional legislation
regulating such investments, $50 that the
law shall clearly specify the classes of secu-
rites in which the banks may be permitted
to invest their funds, and also limiting the
amount that they may hold Of each class
Doubtless the Governor had in mind the
freedom, not to say recklessness, with
which the New Hampshire banks have been
Investing in Western farm mortgages, and
which has already caused conservative finan-
ciers considerable uneasiness. Gov. Saw
yer's recommendations on the subject of
labor correspond very closely with those
made by Gov. Bodwell. He suggests the
passage of ten hour law, weekly payments,
the abolition or modification Of the trustee
process, the establishment of board of ar
bitration and the formation Of bureau of
labor statistics. The Governor, while ad-
hitting that the prohibitory law has not been
as effective as was expected, says it has on
the whole worked well. In the cities and
towns where public sentiment has been
strong in its favor the liquor traffic has
been banished or driven out of sight. With
the growth of public opinion he expects it to
become still more effective-effective enough
perhaps to abolish Frank Jones's breweries,
though he doesn't say so. At any rate he
considers it much preferable to license
law, and he recommends the incorporation
of its principle in the State constitution.
